Lujiang County, in Shu County. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"What? This, how is this possible? Liu He actually gave up Xiangyang to fight for Jiangxia in person, and captured Huang Gai, killed Han Dang, and captured Jiangxia City within two days? ā€

Shocked by the bad news, Sun Quan couldn't help but look dark, and almost fainted, even though he was young and old, and was known as the master of Shoucheng who surpassed his brother Sun Ce, but now he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and his face turned pale.

The reason why Sun Quan came to Lujiang in person, the main purpose was to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu fought to defeat each other when they entered Nanyang, in fact, he originally thought that this battle should be Cao Cao's tragic victory into Nanyang, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to lose, and he lost so quickly, but in his opinion, although Nanyang County won in the process of fighting with Cao Cao, but also suffered a lot of losses, he only needed to send Huang Gai to lead an army of 20,000 to conquer, and he would definitely be able to easily pocket Nanyang, But he didn't expect Liu He to even want Xiangyang and personally participate in the battle to capture Jiangxia.

What I didn't expect was that Jiangxia City, with a total of more than 30,000 troops, was so easily broken by Liu He, one of the two generals was captured, and the other was killed.

"There are 20,000 troops under the command of Huang Gongfu, and all of them are Danyang elite soldiers, plus he is good at judging the situation and has the magical skill of deception, once he finds that the other party has a lot of people, he can completely reverse the occupation of a skill, and turn defeat into victory, why is he defeated, and the defeat is so miserable, he was captured by the other party?"

Sun Quan was puzzled and muttered.

At this time, he saw the strategist Zhuge Jin stepped forward and said: "Maybe Huang Gongfu was careless for a while, and the other party saw through the flaws, or maybe there was someone around Liu He who could see through Huang Gongfu's deception strategy, so General Huang's strategy did not work, which led to this defeat." ā€

Sun Quan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Zibu is right, it must be that Huang Gongfu has revealed a flaw under his carelessness, but Liu He's behavior is really a little strange, as soon as he leaves like this now, isn't Xiangyang falling into emptiness again?" Would Liu He rather give up Xiangyang than run hundreds of miles of business to seize a mere Jiangxia? ā€

"Lord, this matter can actually be understood if you think about it, after all, for Liu He, Nanyang is the fundamental place, so he would rather abandon Xiangyang to keep Nanyang, and if he wants to keep Nanyang, he must defeat the army of General Gongfu, and in order to achieve this goal, he even adopted the means of attacking instead of defending to break through Jiangxia."

Zhuge Jin sighed lightly and said slowly: "The lord is a benevolent and virtuous person, I never thought that there were such vicious people in this world, in order to keep a Nanyang, he even ignored Xiangyang, but the soldiers and civilians of Xiangyang just surrendered to him." ā€

"So, Liu He is really going to give up Xiangyang? What can I do? Sun Quan thought silently for a moment, and then said: "Once Liu He abandons Xiangyang, I'm afraid that Xiangyang will really fall into Liu Bei's hands, so that Liu Bei not only won the three counties of Jingnan, but also won the entire southern county, and Liu He also got Jiangxia, I only got one Changsha County in the entire Jingzhou, so that Liu Bei's strength has increased greatly, and it is a great threat to our army, and the threat is even much greater than Liu He. ā€

I saw Zhuge Jin say: "Lord, although he said so, Liu He's threat is actually greater, because he now occupies Jiangxia, and he can threaten our Changsha and Jiangdong at any time, if he occupies the Lujiang River again, as long as the river crossing is successful, we will be fully threatened by him, so the lower officials think that if it is not necessary, we still can't turn against Liu Bei." ā€

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Actually, I think the same way, but Liu Bei is too powerful now, and I am still a little worried." ā€

At this time, I saw Lu Meng step forward and said: "Actually, this matter is also easy to do, the last general heard that because Liu He sent people to plot in Shuzhong, now Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have returned to Chengdu, and now Jingzhou is still Guan Yu in charge, the lord only needs to envelop Guan Yu, can ensure our safety, doesn't General Bo Fu have a daughter?" The last general heard that Guan Yu also has a son named Guan Xing, and he can send someone to Jiangling to talk to them about a matchmaker, once agreed, Guan Yu and General Bofu are relatives, and the lord and Guan Yu are also related, in this way, we have truly become a family, and I believe that Guan Yu will never be a threat to us again. ā€

Lu Meng thought that Sun Quan would agree, but when he saw Sun Quan humming, "My brother handed over Jiangdong to me to take charge, and I have to rely on my own ability to protect this place, how can I use my brother's daughter?" How can I face my brother under Jiuquan in this way? This is absolutely inappropriate! ā€

Lu Meng listened to Sun Quan's words, and was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why Sun Quan refused such a good thing, after all, Guan Yu is also a hero in the world, as the so-called tiger father has no dog son, marrying Guan Yu's son is not an insult to Sun Ce's daughter.

However, Zhang Zhao on the side secretly sneered at Lu Meng's chest, he didn't know the current affairs, and now it was Sun Quan who controlled Jiangdong, how could he agree to let Sun Ce's daughter marry Guan Yu? Because if Guan Yu used his relatives to support Sun Ce's son Sun Shao, wouldn't it bring him great trouble?

But for this, of course, Zhang Zhao would not say it, he thought for a moment and then said: "The lord of the body of General Bofu passed away, and he can't bear to let his daughter become a tool for the exchange of interests at a young age, this is also a benevolent heart, Zhao has an idea here, I don't know if it is feasible?" The lord's cousin Sun Yu happened to die on the battlefield not long ago, leaving the young daughter unattended, the lord can accept her as a daughter, and then promise Guan Yu's son, see what his attitude is, if Guan Yu accepts, then we are naturally happy, and fight against Liu He, and if Guan Yu refuses, then there is only another way. ā€

"Now it seems that this is the only way to go." Sun Quan thought about it, and then said to Zhuge Jin: "Ziyu, this matter will bother you to go to Jiangling." ā€

Zhuge Jin hurriedly took the order, cleaned up, took the two scholars, and then went to Jiangling by water.

After Zhuge Jin left, Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan again: "Lord, we can't completely pin our hopes on Zhuge Jin, we must be ready to deal with Liu Bei at any time, this person is cunning and hypocritical, no different from Liu He, we can't take him lightly, even if this cooperation repels Liu He, we must be careful of him in the future." ā€

"I still know this, but what we should do most at the moment is to guard against Liu He, I believe that this person will definitely attack our Lujiang in the short term, in case this person leads the army to the city, and we have not made any preparations, things will be miserable." Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao with a worried face and said slowly.
